It's a complete redesign, it uses a slightly different chip (e.g. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." The ELM327 uses AT commands, and most USB-based enclosures simply present a "virtual RS232 port" to the computer, making it easy to write your own software.

free versions of otherwise commercial counterparts.DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS, on average it takes them 6 months to ship, if they do ship at all. StreetDeck (more about compatibility here).'s kit, that uses their own "ELM327 compatible" chip, but I believe it's only software-compatible, not pin-for-pin compatible, so you can only use their kit if you want their firmware.see Figure 9 (p56) of the ELM327 datasheet.'s OBD2 to USB Converter, only available in ELM320/ELM322/ELM323 versions, they don't have an ELM327 version.ElmScan 5 has many distributors worldwide.But there's a sticker on the back that you can check just in case. They each cost $14 USD)ĮLM327 is the real brains, but it needs some interface electronics, an enclosure, and an OBDII connector to make it practical. (ELM also sells several less-frequently used chips that each talk to only a subset of OBD-II vehicles: ELM320(PWM), ELM322(VPW), and ELM323(ISO). Yes, the datasheet confirms the obvious: it's based on the PIC 18F2x8x. ELM chips ELM Electronics sells the ELM327 ($25 USD) that can communicate with any car's OBDII. You can locate your OBD-II connector using this database. All automobiles manufactured starting in 1996 and sold in North America are required by law to support OBD-II.
